SO here's the story...
around two months or so ago i purchased a few cories to add to my planted tank from what i call the "grab bag tank". there were several species all mixed up and i told the girl- just gimme two "not peppered" cories (i know about keeping groups but i have a mix in the tank an they all hang out anyway-and im not trying to breed so wanted a few different ones)....ANYWHO- i am having trouble sorting through the species and positively determining who i have here...just for my own curiosity...
there are a few pictures attached and any info would be terrific. i know i have a peppered which you will see in one of the photos, and i think ive narrowed down that the second one is a C. trilineatus (sold as julii-go figure), but who is the third one? the paler dude with the black "tip" to its dorsal...the trilineatus has kind of banding on its dorsal and this guy to me looks distinctly different, even in its head shape, and i have not seen his kind since.
so, all you cory experts please give me a hand. God knows ive tried, but there are just too many that look similar!
thanks in advance!!!
